Build All - POP!

Executes all operators under 'Build in Parts' at once.

Build All

Pro tip: place the operator under Quick Favorites (Q) for even quicker results.

Build in Parts

Create the different scene elements separately for more control. Camera and Floor are helpful for animation. The rest are helpful for lighting and rendering.

Build in Parts

Camera

Adds an optimized camera to the scene and deletes the default camera.

Has the following optimized:

  • Location and Rotation
  • Naming 'CAM.001', 'CAM.002', etc
  • Show Name in Viewport
  • Focal Length
  • Focus Distance
  • Clip Start and Clip End
  • Passepartout Alpha

Collection 'Cameras'

Newly built cameras are automatically placed in the outliner collection 'Cameras' (will be created if it doesn't exist yet).

Collection Cameras

Floor

Adds a plane 'Fuzzy floor' to the scene. Deletes the default cube and replaces any existing 'Fuzzy floor'.

  • Disabled Selection
  • Normal Edit modifier - 'Normal Direction'
  • Viewport Display:

Normal Edit Modifier 'Normal Direction'

Because EEVEE cannot use light groups, Fuzzy floor has a Normal Edit modifier to adjust the normal direction of the floor object. As a target, empty object 'floor normal' is placed in the scene.

With the Normal Edit Modifier, shadows cast in specific directions will not appear on Fuzzy Floor depending on the empty object's position relative to the floor's origin. To manipulate the shadows cast on Fuzzy floor, adjust the empty object's location.

Either shadows from Sun or RimLight are visible, depending on location of Empty 'floor normal'.

Collection 'Set'

Newly built Fuzzy floor and floor_normal are automatically placed in the outliner collection 'Set' (will be created if it doesn't exist yet).
